Within the settings feature, the user is given the option to search a particular miles radius as oppose to their immediate area. With a wide array of options, this app provides a great guide to free wi-fi in your area. Keep in mind that because it does work off GPS, you must have a service plan or existing wi-fi connection in order for it to function. But if you check before you are on the go- the opportunities become endless!
